Last week we reported on the $300 Aperture Science sentry turrets. They are very expensive, too expensive for most people, but there is an alternative. Toy company NECA/Wizkids have teamed up with Valve to bring us gamers cute, collectible 3-inch high official sentry turrets from Portal 2.

NECA, the geniuses behind the incredible Portal gun replica, have announced ten different designs of the turret figures including animal print, camouflage, and hot rod paint jobs. These sentry turrets have never looked so colorful. Each of the ten models comes in an open or closed design so you can have a sweet, innocent looking turret or one that’s primed to kill. Either is suitable for guarding your lunch.

Portal 2 fans have the opportunity to vote for another design to make the cut on the Portal Facebook page. Vote for one design out of the four possible choices, which include a funky Hawaiian shirt, lightning, mom tattoo, or a wood grain effect. Currently, wood grain is the most popular by far, so get voting if you want that to change. The winner will be announced on the Portal Facebook page.

The set will be released in October this year, but it’s unclear where they will be avalaible and what price they will retail at. The important thing is Valve continues to greenlight officially licenced merchandise. As a huge Portal fan, I hope there’s more to come.

If one of the designs for these turrets isn’t the Animal King turret (the leopard print one with the crown), I will be most upset.
